If you look at their bench, Jarrett Jack is probably the best back up PG in the NBA in terms of balance, he can pass, score, play defense, and shoot...great security for an injury prone Curry, and dropping Ellis was great because Curry and Ellis never mixed well together.

Thompson is slowly improving, he can potential become a Reggie Miller he works harder in improving his movement without the ball.

Rush/Barnes/Green is a very dynamic SF trio.

Lee is an all star this year and well deserved, it's really been him and Aldridge at the PF position this year.

Ezeli was a great late round pick who will emerge into a Dale Davis/Dampier type defensive C role player, Warriors got a deep bench and a great scoring trio with Lee, Curry, and Thompson, all these guys can score efficiently and they're not the best team in the West, but you have to respect their potential as a team, especially when healthy.

SMH refs give the Heat so much leeway. Lebron shoulda been teched up at least 2-3 times in this 4th quarter and they just let him get away with it. If this was the Knicks they would have 3 players and a coach ejected.. Oh wait they did

I think Heat have to make a trade just to secure a chance to defend their title. I believe Allen, Battier will eventually hit the veteran wall and Miami's bench is weak (Rashard Lewis is overrated, and Miami has some of the worst PG play in the NBA). It may look like the first Miami team we saw.

Miami is basically losing to Nate Robinson, Carlos Boozer, and Joakim Noah...maybe the regular season has no meaning, and playoffs are when things are tuned up.
